&gt; God finds himself by creating.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Men are cruel, but Man is kind.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Praise shames me, for I secretly beg for it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; That I exist is a perpetual surprise which is life.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Leave out my name from the gift if it be a burden, but keep my song.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; In Art, man reveals himself and not his objects.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; The sparrow is sorry for the peacock at the burden of his tail.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; He, who wants to do good, knocks at the gate; he who loves finds the gate 
open.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses 
it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Everything comes to us that belong to us if we create the capacity to receive 
it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Let the dead have the immortality of fame, but the living the immortality of 
love.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Let us not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless when facing 
them.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Love adorns itself; it seeks to prove inward joy by outward beauty.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; I have spent my days stringing and unstringing my instrument while the song I 
came to sing remains unsung.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I woke up and saw that life was service. 
I acted and behold, service was joy.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Those who have everything but thee, my God, laugh at those who have nothing 
but thyself.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">
<span style="font-family: Arial">&gt;</span><span style="font-family:Arial">
Death belongs to life as birth does. The walk is in the raising of the foot as 
in the laying of it down.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but 
makes our life in harmony with all existence.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Whatever we treasure for ourselves separates us from others; our possessions 
are our limitations.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find 
adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent 
you from seeing the stars.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Asks the Possible of the Impossible, &quot;Where is your dwelling-place?&quot; &quot;In the 
dreams of the Impotent,&quot; comes the answer.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; The fish in the water is silent, the animal on the earth is noisy, the bird in 
the air is singing. But man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the 
earth and the music of the air.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; The question why there is evil in existence is the same as why there is 
imperfection&gt;. But this is the real question we ought to ask:&nbsp; Is this 
imperfection the final truth; is evil absolute and ultimate?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; The touch of an infinite mystery passes over the trivial and the familiar, 
making it break out into ineffable music&gt;. The trees, the stars, and the blue 
hills ache with a meaning which can never be uttered in words.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; The tragedy of human life consists in our vain attempts to stretch the limits 
of things which can never become unlimited, and to reach the infinite by 
absurdly adding to the rungs of the ladder of the finite.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Things are distinct not in their essence but in their appearance; in other 
words, in their relation to one to whom they appear. This is art, the truth of 
which is not in substance or logic, but in expression.&nbsp; Abstract truth may 
belong to science and metaphysics, but the world of reality belongs to art.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; There are men whose idea of life is tactic, who long for its continuation 
after death only because of their wish for permanence and not perfection; they 
love to imagine that the things to which they are accustomed will persist for 
ever.&nbsp; They completely identify themselves in their minds with their fixed 
surroundings and with whatever they have gathered, and to have to leave these is 
death for them. They forget that the true meaning of living is outliving, it is 
ever growing out of itself.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; In love all the contradictions of existence merge themselves and are lost.&nbsp; 
Only in love are unity and duality not at variance. Love must be one and two at 
the sometime. Only love is motion and rest in one. Our heart ever changes its 
place till it finds love, and then it has its rest.&nbsp; Bondage and liberation are 
not antagonistic in love, for love is most free and at the same time most bound.</span></p>
